POTY Process Planning


This is the last week of POTY reign for last year's Peep of the Year, Lauren Rathbone.
~
By all accounts, she has had a good year.  No emotional outbursts, no scandals, no legal complications.... or at least none that we have knowledge of .
~
And that in itself is an accomplishment.
~
Being a POTY is no easy task, what with all of the public scrutiny and stuff.   It's not for everybody, and Lauren proved to be worthy of her title.   We will expect that she will make her closing remarks sometime this week as did her predecessors, Tommy McMahon,  and Michael "Murph" Murphy.
~
But now it's time to look to the future... to select another who can carry the mantle forward, who can be a symbol for annoyance, irritation and/or inspiration for all of us.
~
I do have some POTY candidates in mind.  Naturally the usual suspects...Mountain of a Man Bobby Brown, SuperPeep Brian Butler, Tuna Lips Antagonist Maria Rowen, Archrival Joe Collins, and Patrick "Pisc" Piscatelli come to mind almost instantly.  But there are significant others
~
And the selection criteria hasn't changed.   Like the Peep of the Week, the POTY must meet the following standards.
  1. He/She must have done something Annoying or Inspirational over the past year.
  2. Can't be Dead.
  3. Can't be an Animal.
  4. OR..... (and this is an automatic "out of my hands" choice) must have bought me a CASE of Lagavulin before the crucial selection.
You may make as many suggestions or nominations as you like, but I doubt that I would consider anything that you say.  And you can never ask why the selection is made.  That is Taboo, Verboten, and Just Freaking Wrong.

May the best wo(man) win the coveted POTY. Today however, the POTTY goes to the Trini-Lopez-looking,carbon-based-life-form seen fleeing a local ladies room. Even the horse thieves are not safe...
